Do you ever feel sick after a losing bet?

They say the sign of a problem gambler is when they don`t give two shits when they lose,for me i only feel sick when the commentator says its the last race of the day..

What about you guys? do you hide your gambling from family and friends etc?

I dont ()

For me its all about fun these days as i don`t have the ability to do my bollocks anymore,but before i would gamble until my pockets were either empty or choked full.

Does anyone actually have the Discipline? is it possible to punt every day but to control your habit?

How do you guys control your gambling?

Some people might not like to post but,this is a subject that should be mentioned once every now and then imo..

Are you saying you don't punt!

Hey Bob...for me its all about what you want to achieve out of punting.I treat it like a business so am quite picky with what i punt.I only punt on GTG,KZN,WCP meetings....I decided long ago that ECP,NCP isnt centres for me as i kept on donating there.Dont get me wrong...i am an addict...just an organised one.I feel sick whenever a VB or LS of mine gets pipped on the line or whenever theres a sudden change of tactics on a horse i like.Other than that....i take losing on the chin coz no1 wins everyday or even every week...we have our ups and downs...but treating it like a business has helped me alot...its all about being consistant and persistant aswell...

i think it's human nature to feel disappointed when your horse doesn't win or run a place to keep you in the PA, P6, JP, etc, etc, however this doesn't necessarily only apply to people who gamble. There are people who don't bet who go and watch rugby, soccer, etc and when their team loses, i'm pretty certain they experience a level of disappointment as well. Anyone who says losing, especially money, doesn't bother them is lying to themself, doesn't matter whether the losses are as a result of a business deal, a stock market crash or gambling. Lose continiously without any care in the world and you'll be standing at the robots.

I'm probably the worse horseracing punter , gamble very seldom now on the horses. When I first starting punting you could stand in the line when you backed a hottie but for me form don't work anymore. I do like playing thunee and 52's for money where I'm much more skilled and have the odds in my favour

Only feel sick when hard done by

As i'm not a big punter I never feel sick [I do know the feeling though]

I punt for fun ever since I joined HOLLYBUCKS 'cos i'm now forced to look for value,and do sometimes find them:D

HOLLYWOOD is great for me 'cos i can place small bets like R5 or R2.40 Trifectas or Quartets
I place 3,4 or 5 horse multiples for R10 to R50 max with the promise of big returns and they do sometimes arrive
I like playing Jackpots mostlly 25% and especially UK or MIXA

About the only time I feel sick is when I wake up in the middle of the night and theres NO RACING:D

ps.
Now you all know why I don't post,..no?
How can I play for fun and expect people to follow my picks?
